Do standard mat sizes fit most kitchens?

For many kitchens, yes. WellnessMats Home mats come in a range of common sizes, including 3x2, 6x2, 6x3, 5x2, 5x4, 5x3, which fit most single counters, sinks, and stove fronts. If you stand in one spot most of the time, a standard size is often all you need.

But kitchens aren't built in standard sizes. An L-shaped counter, a galley layout, a long island, or a run that ends at an odd length usually leaves you with two choices: a mat that stops short, or several mats pushed together. That's where custom comes in.

What is a custom puzzle mat?

A custom puzzle mat is an anti-fatigue mat made from interlocking sections that are designed, sized and shaped to your specific floor plan. Instead of choosing the closest standard size, you design the mat around your kitchen: the length of your counters, the turns in your layout, and the spots where you need to leave room for appliances.

The result is one continuous standing surface that follows the way you actually move through your kitchen.

Why does full foot coverage matter?

Anti-fatigue mats only help when you're standing on them. Most people don't stand in one spot while cooking. You step from the sink to the stove, turn to the prep counter, and reach into the fridge. A single small mat supports you at one station and leaves you on hard tile or wood everywhere else.

A custom mat gives you cushioned support along your entire work path, so your feet, knees, and back get relief whether you're washing up, chopping, or stirring a pot for an hour. For anyone who spends real time in the kitchen, that continuous coverage is the difference between a mat that helps a little and one that helps all the way through dinner.

Can a custom mat reduce tripping hazards?

Yes. Using several separate mats creates edges, gaps, and corners that can curl, shift, or catch a toe, especially where two mats meet. A custom mat replaces multiple edges with one continuous surface, so there are fewer places to trip. WellnessMats have an ADA approved 20 degree beveled edge on the outer perimeter that create a gradual transition to the floor.

That matters for everyone, but it's especially helpful in homes with kids running through the kitchen, older family members, or pets underfoot.

What can I customize?

Nearly everything about the layout. With the WellnessMats Custom Mat Designer you can:

• Build runners of any length to cover a full counter run from end to end.
• Create L-shapes, U-shapes, and galley layouts that turn corners with your counters.
• Add cutouts around islands, appliance fronts, cabinet toe kicks, or floor vents.
• Choose edge options for each side, so edges sit where the mat meets open floor and stay flush where it meets a wall or cabinet.
• Design area mats for larger spaces like a workshop corner, laundry room, or home office standing desk.
• Choose style and edge type 

How do I measure my kitchen for a custom mat?

Measuring takes about five minutes. You'll need a tape measure, a pencil, and paper (or your phone's notes app).

1. Measure the length of each counter run. Measure along the base of the cabinets, from end to end or wall to wall. Write down each run separately if your kitchen turns a corner.
2. Decide on depth. Measure out from the cabinet base to where you naturally stand. Most people are comfortable with standard widths (24", 36" 47"). Or you can customize the depth/width with non standard widths. Go deeper for islands or areas where you move side to side.
3. Mark obstacles. Note anything the mat needs to work around: the dishwasher door swing, oven door, fridge door, floor vents, or an island post. Measure each one's position from the nearest wall or cabinet end.
4. Check your clearances. Open the dishwasher and oven doors and make sure they'll clear the mat's 3/4" thickness. Leave a little room at door thresholds.
5. Sketch and double-check. A quick sketch with your measurements makes designing easy. Measure twice; it's the fastest way to avoid a do-over.

Pro tip: Lay painter's tape on the floor where you want the mat to go. Walk your normal cooking path for a minute. If you step off the tape, adjust the layout before you order.

How does the Custom Mat Designer work?

The Custom Mat Designer is a free online tool that lets you build your mat step by step and see it before you buy. Enter your measurements, choose your shape, add cutouts, and select your edges. The designer shows a live preview of your layout and updates your price as you go, so there are no surprises.

You can save your design to your account and come back to it later, or request a quote if you're outfitting a larger space. Most people finish their design in 5 minutes or less.
